Well that got the most genuine laugh of anything I’ve seen today. We should do more shenanigans at these events.

I’m picturing this being carbon fiber and the top tube snapping at the bend.
Hell I’ll admit to wearing a headphone while I’m out and about but it’s at least on transparency mode and I’ve only got the one on my right side.
I think all the electrics should have this since not a single fucking one of them apparently knows to announce their presence when they pass people. Sorry for the rant but I think people should learn how to ride a fucking bicycle before they get on an electric motorcycle and feel like they have priority on the fucking trails.
My initial reaction was that it was probably unflattering on purpose but after seeing the others I think that might just be the artist’s style and she just has an unfortunate face for it.
I mean, to an extent, but that’s like, 8-9 months away, probably. Good news is while we move twice a year it’s only across the street. The joys of employee housing.
I’m chuckling at this meme when I still have so much unboxing and organizing to do after a recent move.
I’m in a ski town in Colorado so you get the full mix here, but yeah by March it’s t-shirt weather for the locals, tourists still show up dressed for an arctic expedition but whatever. Hell, isn’t even the funniest thing that comes up, the resort does a costume week every spring so I did formal day in a dress shirt and tie on a fixie, which is a pretty physically intensive job. Favorite remark was a regular in the back of the line yelling “[name expunged] are you fucking bumping chairs in a tie?”
And for that matter both of those things happen in this same country. Should’ve seen the looks I’d get from southerners when I was operating a ski lift in a T-shirt.
Edit: celebrating the first snow by jumping in a lake has also gotten colorful reactions from outsiders.
The post on /all about a gop official advocating for child marriage?
Yeah I saw. Poor timing and a bit of wishful thinking on my part.
See, now I was to an extent kidding, but if you go back to /all there’s an article right there that I’d almost be tempted to say was poor timing on my part.
It’s kinda amazing that our political discourse has gotten to the point where people will double down on anything. I feel like if a Republican presidential candidate got caught molesting a child the next big push from the party would be lowering age of consent.
Also, here’s a slightly more in-depth article from a more niche source: https://liftblog.com/2024/04/13/gondola-tower-collapse-kills-one-in-turkey/
I’ll be fascinated to hear more about this as it gets investigated. I’m a former ski lift operator and there’s so many systems on a modern lift to prevent that. That one looks not quite new but certainly not so old as to not have such precautions. Though it just says hit a pole, it’s possible that said pole wasn’t a lift tower, and of course being that this happened in Turkey it’s possible if not likely that the standards are simply lower than in Colorado.
Which, looking at it from a 21st century perspective I’d be terrified if someone just put my god damn address in a book most people kept lying around. I’m still pissed at Snapchat for sharing my live gps location with my contacts.
I still upvoted but I feel like making this the top post misses the point.
Iowa’s more fun when you’re drunk too.
I wouldn’t doubt it to hear they’re insured for this so it’s not the hardest hit in the world.
Most days alternate between 5 and 7 depending on my drug use that day. Today’s more a 7, tempted to make it a 5 though.
